Default Rec/Men's Hockey in Calgary - I want to play!

I'm really wanting to get back out onto the ice this year, haven’t played league hockey in about 4 years but played a fairly high level all through minor hockey (late 20’s now) and prefer to play defence (can play forward if needed and have in the past, but prefer defence). Have refereed minor hockey for the past 10 years and as a result have never lost my skating legs, but might take a game or two to get my defensive positioning back!

The issue I have right now is that I am only able to commit to games on or before December 31st 2013 as there is a chance I might have leave Calgary for a few months due to work in the new year.

To that end, wondering if there are any leagues in Calgary that only run through December? If not, I’m hoping maybe there is a team out there somewhere that might need an extra skater for the next few months as the thought of not playing again this year is really bothering me.

If anyone is looking for a hard working player and think you could work around my issue please let me know as I am dying to get back out onto the ice and would really like to join a team if possible as opposed to simply playing pickup shinny. Likewise, if you know of any leagues with shorter seasons, again, please let me know.

A lot of teams are looking for drop in defencemen. Most teams have a glut of forwards, as that is what most people who've never played before play. I'd contact all the local leagues and see if they have a sub-list.

I can't see a team wanting to commit to you up to the end of December though. On every rec team I've played on, getting people out for the games is always a bit of an issues. So if one person drops out halfway, it requires them to find a replacement part-way, which is an issue.
